I have considered writing contemporaries, but my imagination runs toward contemp paranormals. I think it has something to do with creating a universe that is definitively Other than the one we inhabit. I look for books that swallow me whole and thereby render me (albeit very briefly) a stranger to my immediate surroundings -- which is probably why I can create a grouping of much-loved books that includes novels as diverse as Wolf Hall (Hilary Mantel), Bliss (Judith Ivory), and Desire Unchained (Larissa Ione)...

I hope you enjoy Wicked. I'm trying to load your vlog but my internet connection here in Delhi doesn't do so well with videos. Think 1998 dial-up speed. I'm bookmarking it for when I go to a coffee shop with good Wi-Fi! Hi Isalys!

I hope you enjoy Wicked. I’m trying to load your vlog but my internet connection here in Delhi doesn’t do so well with videos. Think 1998 dial-up speed. I’m bookmarking it for when I go to a coffee shop with good Wi-Fi!

Thrilled and relieved to hear you liked it. :) Also madly jealous of your Kindle! I'm saving up for one of those -- the idea of having so many books at my fingertips is irresistible. The prospect of getting caught somewhere without a new book to read always makes me uneasy. Phew! Thrilled and relieved to hear you liked it. :) Also madly jealous of your Kindle!

I wonder, did you make it to Fatehpur Sikri, near Agra (in Uttar Pradesh)? I had that palace in mind when writing DoS. That’s awesome that you read the book before visiting Delhi and Rajasthan!

But I think if I met either of you, I'd trip all over myself. I love all your books (and I've read them all except Delicious, which I'm saving for a lull in my reading life). I'm so excited to read these two upcoming books, and I'm especially excited to see something new. Meredith, I read The Duke of Shadows a few weeks before my first trip to Delhi and Rajasthan, and it made me appreciate the trip so much more. I did lots of googling to find out more about the uprising, and it gave me an appreciation for a part of history I knew nothing about. Thank you for that. Sherry, I haven't been able to get Not Quite a Husband out of my mind since I read it last year. It was the first of your books that I read, so I think I'll always love it best. All the best for your release days. Okay, I worked in Hollywood for awhile on the Sony lot, and I never went fan-girl on any of the stars I saw or met.

I had the recent discovery of Internet Archive myself. It went something like this... "What is this I see? EVERY Dion Boucicoult play available to download?! *downloads ferociously*" It's sad how much good research fodder gets lost to the ages. Please do!
